BERKSHIRE ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB

The Club organises lectures, workshops and field activities relating to wild birds and their conservation. It manages surveys and recording and prepares an annual report on the birds of Berkshire.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile recently
